About 15-20 years ago, I got a 4 hour tour of the Holland and Holland factory by the plant manager. Unbelievable. In many places it was like going back in a time capsule. The manager acknowledged that there were places where they could eliminate hand operations by using my CNC, but said that the few dollars that you save would mean that the knowledge would be lost. He said for the customer was more about "I've got it, and you don't". I handled a 3 barrel S x S x S which was surprisingly mobile. A great tour
